KACS "Beacon of Hope" candle

The “Beacon of Hope” candle was created by KACS in collaboration with Candle Studio 1422 to help shine a light on National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day.

Scents of dark amber rosewood, white sage and a hint of lavender come together in each Beacon of Hope candle to make it the perfect purchase for your home, gifts for family and friends, or a housewarming present for new homeowners. With every candle purchased, you support the mission of KACS to eradicate poverty and homelessness.

For every candle purchased, KACS will receive a portion of the sale – thank you for helping KACS help our neighbors in need.
